It could have been worse than "Duncan"

[Letum]

The following is something posted elsewhere on the internet by a friend at battle-fields.com.

The following is a result of a conversation a colleague and I had about the latest Type 45 Destroyer to begin build, HMS Duncan. Quote:
We were discussing the new type 45 Destroyer, Duncan, and thought the name lacked punch. Following a quick look at the historical list, I think we should count our blessings.

There are some real classics there:

The less than bunch:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Bluebell
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Geranium
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Marigold
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Dainty

The positively camp:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Doris
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Flirt
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Tiptoe
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Frolic
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Spanker
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Nancy

The just downright odd:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Badger
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Biter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Arrogant
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Pickle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Trump

HMS Haddock is listed but does not merit its own page

The very intriguing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Happy_Entrance

Again, no individual Wikipedia page for it but the winner is… the rather sore sounding HMS C**kchafer
